The Czech Republic plays a key role as a transport crossroads in Central Europe. The proposed VRT, Czech High-Speed Lines (HSL) will connect the north with the south and the east with the west. VRT will be integrated into the TEN-T, Trans-European Transport Network. The construction of the VRT will be phased and individual sections will be used before the completion of the whole system in 2050 to relieve the current congested corridors as soon as possible.

In September 2024 Czech government approved an important step for the future of High-Speed Lines. It has decided to use PPP project financing for the construction of three key sections, VRT Moravská brána, VRT Jižní Morava and RS Brno - Přerov link. This means that private capital will also participate in the implementation and thanks to this we will be able to start construction faster.
